Review summary

Great time in the Carribean. Overall Epic is not my favorite ship but we had a great time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Terminal was crowded and folks were blocking lines for check in. Port Canaveral should address this issue by reconfiguring the check in area.

5 out of 5

Thermal suite is worth every penny.

Photo Gallery

4 out of 5

Don't use screens unless missing a photo in binder, still have to choose photos from binder so selecting them on computer is waste of time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Priscilla is a waste of my time, children should not be exposed to the show. Burn the Floor was very good and Cirque Dreams was excellent.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Charlton our room steward was attentive but not intrusive. Service staff was great except for internet manager who is an a**.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Rooms design are weird, upper doors will draw blood if left open.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very clean, design is strange, lots of storage.
